Summary: I have Microsoft Flight Simulator in front of me this very minute. It is amazingly thorough and detailed, but a bit slow and buggy.

In case the Summary Part of this header got clipped, I'll repeat it here.

I have a copy of MS Flight Simulator, bought two weeks ago for $29.99
at a local software shop.

The program has much detail, the manual details a lot of information 
about navigation, etc.  I spend a lot of time with it, in spite of
its slow operation (2-3 screen updates/second) when running.

The program is pretty buggy and you soon discover that the dynamic
realism has some fixed limits:  such as stall occurring at a given
elevator setting at any speed, rather than being interdependent.
